• Worked on a generalised model using Multi Class Object Detection with EfficientDet for monitoring cow activity (lying/standing/drinking etc) to inform on herd comfort & welfare. Achieved a total F1 score of up to 94.1%.
• Led project to support farms with obstructions (baffles). This project expanded our target market by 20%, and led to better model performance across existing customers, with a jump in F1 score from 50.24% to 85.24% for.
• Built automated model maintenance pipelines, with integration tests, to support continued training of our models with minimal manual effort. We also enabled training & model evaluations with Sagemaker in a CI/CD.
• Built a “Cow and Ear Tag Detection model” (CowNet) for identifying & tagging cows for near real-time inference on edge devices. This lightweight CNN & anchor based model uses MobileNet features, a Feature Pyramid.
• Built a pipeline for individual Cow Identification by combining models that the team worked on. Used the “Cow and Ear Tag Detection model” (described above) with a tracking algorithm that uses a Kalman filter over.

• Analysis to understand how sunlight affects our customer insights every day due to our segmentation model struggling with saturated pixels.
• Built and maintained our internal libraries to support daily timelapse videos for customers to ensure data quality of our insights, with full functional test coverage, runbooks and documentation to help on-call.
• Executed proof of concepts to find the technical feasibility and impact of informing customers if feed is out of reach from the cows. Used segmentation masks & thresholding. Tools: OpenCV, pandas, plotly & matplotlib.
• Collaborated with internal and external stakeholders for manual data annotation, including cost estimates, contract discussions and training for the annotators.

• Applied traditional ML and shallow Neural Networks to a complex Content Moderation Problem that resulted in 55% automation by volume for our largest customer and 45% cost savings.
• Built a framework for defining ML Pipelines to improve team’s efficiency and iteration speed by cutting down on boilerplate and providing best practices out-of-the-box like retrying from failure, processing data in.
• Collaborated with the engineering team for database-modelling and building the ML backend. This system interfaced with our engineering backend to serve near-real time predictions, allowing for human-in-the-loop.
• Built models using Spectrograms with CNNs on calls made through SquadIQ for KeyWord Spotting in bilingual audios. The goal was to help scale the business by automating quality assurance.
• Solved for Noise Detection in audio recordings using attention pooling mechanism based CNNs trained using Mel Spectrograms with delta and delta delta features.
• End to end Feature engineering from unstructured data present in the CRMs across the US Real Estate Industry, for lead prioritisation models.
